REDUCE Reducing the production of waste
is the first and most important step toward efficient material use. When planning a new landscape design or updating a current one, avoid products that require frequent replacement or regular maintenance to reduce future waste.

REDUCE WASTE Select low maintenance/slow growing plants and
grasses. Switch from pressure-treated wood to plastic lumber
for decks, benches, and signs. When replacing an existing hardscape or structure,
deconstruct, reuse and recycle all possible materials such as metal, wood, shingles, concrete, and pavement.
Minimize site and soil disruptions to the maximum extent possible.
Minimize turf grass and paved areas - keep as much natural area as possible.

REDUCE WATER
Conserve water through xeriscaping. Incorporate compost to the soil to help
improve water absorption and retention.Reduce non-permeable hardscape wherever possible.
Place mulch over a plant's root zone to reduce moisture evaporation and conserve water.
Install drip irrigation systems.

REDUCE AIR / ENERGY
Strategically plant vegetation outside and around buildings to reduce indoor heating and cooling needs.
Use hand or electric equipment where ever feasible to reduce emissions.
Use biobased fuels and lubricants in place of petroleum.

REDUCE FERTILIZERS / PESTICIDES Use compost as a soil amendment to help reduce the
need for chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Incorporate native plants in your landscape— they
generally require less fertilizers and pesticides. Spot treat whenever possible. Grasscycle—leave grass clippings in place (don't bag)
when mowing. Produce less green waste by limiting fertilizer and
water use. Use mulch around trees and in flowering beds as
weed prevention.

REDUCECLIMATE CHANGE
Plant trees to shade paved areas and help reduce the summer "heat-island" effect.
Compost organic waste in lieu of burning or burying.

REUSE WASTE Donate healthy plants to local nonprofit
organizations when reconfiguring or removing trees and shrubs from your landscape.
Reuse or increase the use and efficiency of existing sites before cutting into new sites.
Reuse soils within the work site; create mounds or berms to serve as wind breaks or to add visual interest.

water, or collected rainwater for irrigation and equipment wash downs.

RECYCLE WASTE Recycle bedding trays and plant
containers from annuals and other greenery
Recycle used oil and tires from your vehicles and equipment.
Provide recycling receptacles next to trash receptacles.
Reclaim land - turn waste land into usable property and a valuable asset.
